2 | What is the mission of the church? | Matt 28:19 | Morant61 | 8759 | ||
Greetings Hank! This is a great question. My short answer is that Mt. 28:19 tells us what the mission of the church was and should be for all time. There is only one command in Mt. 28:19. The English text obscures this point. "Make disciples" is the only command. The others, a) While going... b) Baptizing... and c) Teaching... are all participles which describe the process of making a disciple. Thus, a disciple is someone who has been won, baptized, trained, and then who goes out a repeats the process in the lives of others. Has this mission changed in actual practice? I would say yes. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
